Hi Duane, I can't offer you anything about the ABS system because mine still works on my '93. I bought the bike new in '98 from the dealer and have tried to follow the lists recommendations for flushing intervals. I have also just switched to synthetic fluid in hopes that I won't have to deal with Yamaha.....sounds like a royal PITA!
I wish you all the best in your recovery and hope that Yamaha acknowledges your ABS problem.

Does anyone know of anyone other than myself that has been injured as a result of a failure of the GTS ABS system? 2. Has anyone been gathering any statistical information on the number of failed GTS ABS pumps experienced by members of the group and whether or not those pumps were replaced by Yamaha under warranty or otherwise? 3. If your own GTS ABS pump has failed, would you please e-mail me the particulars surrounding that failure including what action was taken by Yamaha? Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated. I can be e-mailed at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and my telephone number is 478-328-8074. If you have information that you could mail me (I'm being hopeful here), please e-mail or telephone me and I will give you my address. For those of you wondering about my injury, it turns out that when the front ABS on my GTS failed I completely tore the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in my left knee and severely strained many of the other tendons and ligaments in that area. On the 12th of March I had surgery to replace the torn ACL with a graft from my left patella tendon and the recovery process has been extremely challenging. After many more months of physical therapy I hope to have close to a full recovery, however as things are now, walking is very difficult and riding the GTS is a physical impossibility (my leg won't bend far enough to reach the footpeg). Again, thank you again for any assistance that you can provide. Sincerely, Duane Sutton
